The third installment in Shigeru Yamazaki's journey back in time over fifty years, following the photobooks Weekend and View of Shitamachi Tokyo. Composed of photographs of ordinary people, it captures a vivid, comprehensive view of life in Shitamachi, the less affluent, more down-to-earth eastern part of Tokyo. Every few pages the flow of posed portraits is interrupted by more casual snapshots; the book remains endlessly fascinating for the rich stories its backgrounds tell and for the variety of expressions on the faces of workers, grandmothers, children, factory employees and passersby.
